At last night’s School Board meeting, the School Board voted 4 – 2 to approve a boundary change to the Mustang and Hawk feeder systems. The change is effective for the 2022 – 2023 school year.

EFFECTS OF THE ADJUSTMENT

Under the adjustment, current middle school students living within the Aurora Elementary School attendance area, west of the Sheyenne River, will attend Heritage Middle School and Horace High School in the fall. Current Aurora Elementary School students will attend Heritage Middle School for grades six through eight and Horace High School for grades nine through twelve. Current high school students are not impacted by this change.

IN-DISTRICT TRANSFER REQUESTS

Families currently within the Aurora Elementary School attendance area who wish to remain in the Mustang feeder system may submit a request via an in-district transfer form that has been created specific for this situation. In the event a family has multiple students wishing to remain in the Mustang feeder system, one request form per student must be submitted.

Alternately, families currently within the Aurora Elementary School attendance area who wish to have a current Sheyenne High School student transfer with their younger sibling(s) to the Hawk feeder system may submit a request via an in-district transfer form that has been created specific for this situation. In the event a family has multiple students wishing to transfer to the Hawk feeder system, one request form per student must be submitted. Note: Students who transfer to Horace High School are ineligible for varsity level activities for one year.

Both request forms are available online through 11:45PM on Sunday, February 6, 2022. Once the forms close, administration will review all requests and communicate with families by Friday, February 11.
